Subject: what a joy
Subject: what a joy
I came here because I am listening to ALL of the GD shows in order while exercising. How great that this was recorded (likely by marty). I love hearing
...
Jer on the Pedal steel. During the second NRPS show of the night, yes there is a second one, the yodeling on Cecelia really was great. Really I am not sure when these sets were played during this VERY long double show...regardless these NRPS sets took a while to grow on me and initially I did think of skipping them, but I am glad I did not. yes it is an audience recording but it is a VERY listenable one. I am still trying to sort out the flow of this show because it is confusing AF
Got a little more clarification by looking at the set list for 7.10.70 which makes a strong argument for the confusing set that I posted belonging to that date but there's definitely arguments on both sides....
After finally listening to all of 7/10/70 it's very clear that this show is wrongly identified. At the very end there's a comment on a different version of this tape where the some recording it says clear as day that the show is from the Fillmore. There's some debate still about it being 7:10 or 7:9 because somebody who attended the show said it couldn't be 7:10 cuz they played morning dew... That is it, I've moved on

Just downloaded this and April 28, 1971 and like many have said you have to figure in the (lack) of affordable and portable recording setups back then.
...
Given this these shows are a match, relatively speaking, to any "current" recordings.
The beauty of these recordings is how well they were mixed or recorded and balancing the sounds of Jerry's pedal steel and the sweet vocals of this NRPS are upfront and not muddy. Given that Jerry claimed the pedal and lap steel guitars were the hardest instruments he played and that he only got one if it was sent to him in tune, he's a pretty quick study.
By the way the only onstage pedal steel jerry played after the NRPS was during their tour as back-up for Dylan back in the mid-80's. This was only for at most one song each show. So enjoy this treat and how fortunate it is available to anyone with the ability to download. Now if only a sbd or aud. recording of Jerry playing The Wheel on steel would be available...!?!

1970 was the days of reel to reel & 8 track tape decks.Cassette's came out around 1973or1974.If the show is on a cassette it is not a master.Tapes

would most likley be done by the soundman,on a Reel To Reel.Mic's back then on the stage are omni pickup patern,so you get a Aud.sound even though it is a soundboard.

please disregard any reviews of this show that whine about the sound quality-- if you have been a collector longer than these kids who know nothing but
...
the digital age and the instant gratification of downloading an entire show in under an hour--- you will respect and cherish this recording!!
(geez- it makes me feel cranky and old and i'm only 36! wow...)
there is a new band called Beachwood Sparks who are imitating this sort of sound-- and it inspired me to go back and listen to NRPS-- and i'm glad i did!!
and as reviwers have previously stated-- with ol' Jer on pedal steel- how can you go wrong??
i'm giving this 5 stars just to offset the chumps that complain about the sound...

Subject: Mac Users Might Try Audion3 w/ Kareoke Vocal Filter
The Source IS TOO COOL!!! "spread approx. 25-30 ft. across the balcony onto
a Sony TC124 deck."!?! HS Basketball "Arena" Sound.
Karaoke "On" ... w/ the Macintosh Application "Audion 3" works well w/ this (Go to: Edit Preferences->Effects->Karaoke). Overdriven
vocals w/ too much stage bleed to the vocal mic, so
surprisingly, the "Karaoke" Vocals filter helped a lot w/ the shareware
Audion3 for Mac! Sounds, at times, like Live Dylan...
This Page has confirmed to me, it's also Jerry Garcia at this Performance. Obviously, since it is right around the time of
recording Tracks for, CSN "Teach Your Children" and "Workingman's Dead...??? Where else are you gonna get this??? FIVE STARS!!!

And I mean nothing.
I wish Dirty Business here was a little slower, but I cannot get enough of NRPS. They have always been my 2nd favorite band.
... />Wish the sound was a little better but I am really greatful to see this here. It brings back the memories for sure!
It really deserves a three, but I cannot for personal reasons.

The Capitol in Portchester was such a cool place. The Dead and the Riders always seemed to play great here. I saw them a couple of times here and will
...
never forget it. This version of these tapes is the best sounding one I've heard (and I only sampled the MP3s, will DL the shns tonight).
I don't think there are any other versions of "Live And Let Live" and "If You Hear Me When I'm Leavin'".
The whole band sounds great.
Give it a shot. It's cool hearing the crowd and the occasional "Far Out Man" from some buzzing head.

A unique concert from the penultimate country-rock band. Sound quality leaves a bit to be desired, but amazingly good for a cassette recording. Several

songs are done differently from many of their concerts, most often the tempo. Check out the lyrical variation in "Henry."

Having heard every NRPS AUD and most every Grateful Dead AUD from 1970, I have to say that this recording is among the best from that year. All AUDs take
...
some *ear tuning*. You have to listen to a few to be able to really feel what's going on. This one pays off in a big way once you've settled in. All things relative, this being a recording from 1970 where no SBD recording even exists, this is a must hear! Don't exclude gems like this based on assumptions about AUDs in general. PS - Try using headphones. It helps.
